This week's Zentangle challenge from the Diva is to use Molly Hollibaugh's new tangle, Pea-Nuckle, in a ZIA or Zentangle tile.
At first, as is my experience with many new tangle patterns, it was difficult to understand the flow of this tangle. So I avoided it. But my right brain finally conceded to the fact that ANY pattern is more easily accomplished as the strokes are repeated. Repetition. Repetition. Repetition.
And I got so tangled-up in this concept of repetition, that some of my stroke directions went north instead of south! I almost threw the tile into the circular file, but decided to just accept what was appearing before me and finish it !
Feeling of accomplishment. Grateful for inviting patience. Persistant. Zentangle.
Thanks for the challenge, Laura.
Happy tangling...
...and thanks for visiting.
PS: Happy Birthday David and Tehya!! Love you lots and lots.....
